WW: The New Weight Watchers Plan in 2019

Back in September, Weight Watchers officially changed its name to WW, but what does that mean for you? Is it the same Weight Watchers program you love? What's changed? Here's your guide to everything you need to know about Wellness that Works™.

We all heard about the big Weight Watchers name change a few months back when they officially changed their name to WW. For many people who have followed and loved Weight Watchers for years (like me), this was a scary change and it left many of us worried that there would be a big change to the ways things were done, how points worked, and how the program worked. However, this rebranding actually didn't change anything to how the program and points system works. Phew.

Here are the big picture things you need to know about this change:

  • There is no change to the points and current Freestyle Smartpoints system.  
  • WW is moving to focus more on wellness and health, as opposed to just weight loss and management. 
  • There will be a New Wellness Wins rewards program to motivate members
  • New focus on mental wellness through a partnership with Headspace, the meditation app
  • Building better communities and support with the launch of WW Connect Groups
  • Updates to Fitpoints and focus on physcial activity and fitness
  • Focus on health and removing artificial sweeteners, colors, and preservatives from WW food products

Now that we know what the major changes to Weight Watchers are with the new WW brand update, let's dig into each of these changes so you know what they will mean for you.

WW Freestyle Smartpoints Program

Knowing that this is what most people are concerned about, let's start right in with the points system on the new WW plan. It's exactly the same - same point values, same daily points targets, same zero point foods.

Here's some more info. Last year, Weight Watchers updated its points system to Freestyle Smartpoints and added a whole new group of zero point foods. This shift from Smartpoints to Freestyle Smartpoints, was a major shift in how points were calculated on previous programs and shifted the focus to healthy food choices like lean proteins, legumes, beans, vegetables, and fruit. Under thsi new Freestyle Smartpoints system, 

Focus on Wellness and Health

Easy Baked Cod

Made simply with just 5 ingredients, this Easy Baked Cod recipe makes for a mouthwatering addition to your regular line-up of weeknight dinners. Bursting with flavor and baked to flaky perfection, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t try it sooner! Often overshadowed by more popular fish like salmon and tuna, cod filets are vastly underrated. It’s meaty, flaky, versatile, and affordable. From cod cakes and fish tacos to baked recipes like this one, cod filets can be used in a wide variety of tasty dishes. This delicious recipe for Easy Baked Cod is made using simple ingredients that pack in tons of flavor and allow the fish to really shine. We coat the cod filets in a vibrant mixture of butter, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and Italian seasoning before baking them, resulting in a final product that is tender, flaky, and insanely flavorful. For the ultimate weeknight dinner, I like to pair this dish with veggies and rice or potatoes. Whether you’re cooking for one or serving at a dinner
